One question though (and to me the answer is obvious)- Is there anyone better?

That really is a HELLOVA SPREAD he has there. 40 hell 50 times what the average Joe has. We have seen him wheel and that he surely can do with out a doubt........

That is an awsome pic, it is really cool that he has saved all his cars and trophies from over the years, he is probably the greatest overall of all time, I think he is at a point in his RC career where he should do some 1/8th on road Gas, that's one he hasn't done much....

Masami is way overdue for a Sedan Worlds title. He came close last year and has always been in the running the previous years. I hope he has a competitive package of chasis, motor, and batts for the upcoming worlds.

Yokomo Touring Car Prototype

It has been a while from Yokomo to hear something about a new touring car. The racing season of 2007 wasn't also so quite good for them. Some of the Yokomo fans aren't quite happy, they think the car is being slowly out-of-date. The last new touring car concept, the Yokomo MR-4TC BD, was released in 2004.
Apparently Yokomo has a new car! The English driver Chris Grainger was running a prototype at the Carpet Wars almost one month ago. He has also done some testing at Aldershot and apparently he crashed his car on one of the first runs, and was hunting the track for the broken parts to rebuild it, as he had no spare-parts.
Yokomo is preparing this all-new touring car for the Worlds in August 2008. Masami Hirosaka, Chris Grainger and many more will race race with this car.
